THE "SHENANDOAH" AND THE "LOS ANGELES" SIDE BY SIDE IN THE LAKEHURST
HANGAR
Though the Shenandoah is purely a military type of rigid airship, its transcontinental cruise blazed theway
for
commercial
rigid
ships,
ofwhich
the Los Angeles .(ZR-3) is the forerunner. Though the former is 24 feet longer than the latter, it is smallerindiameter
and,
therefore,
ingas
capacity.
The Lakehurst hangar is the largest "single room" in the world, and could house three Woolworth buildings,
lying
side
byside.
Itrepresents
an
outlay of $3,600,000.
